About Course

What this product is about

At the end of this course you will have a full functional MVP of a Cost Management Solution that will be able to display daily billing data from Azure on FOCUS format.

Differently from reports in Excel, this solution is able to handle smoothly a huge amount of data that can easily reach the size of many Excel files in conjunction. This solution also combine multiple export data so that you can have a simple visualisation and, at the same time, take advantage of the dataset on FOCUS format.

Differently from a third party SaaS solution, this solution is very low cost. You will only pay just the Databricks and Storage usage in your Azure environment. Of course, it will depend on your usage, but in average this will cost around €250 per month or less.
